Global Leadership English Challenge (GLEC) is an English speech/essay contest for the youth worldwide under the grand theme of “United Nations and SDGs.” Starting from 2012, the United Nations Department of Global Communications (UN DGC) has been calling on the participation of the youth by selecting the theme of competition as the annual UN agenda and desirable targets for everyone in the world. The participants are divided into four tracks by grade, from elementary to middle school, high school, and university. Through the competition, the participants are asked to analyze global issues, point out the problems of the status quo, and suggest a solution from their perspectives. The youth can formulate concrete ideas on how to tackle global challenges and develop critical thinking.
